CCBPI opens new Bohol distribution hub

COCA-COLA Beverages Philippines Inc. (CCBPI) officially opened its newest distribution center in Tagbilaran, Bohol as part of its efforts of investing for the long term in the Philippines and enables operational and logistical efficiencies allowing Coca-Cola to deliver more refreshing beverages to customers across the province.

Despite the challenges over the past two years due to the pandemic, business growth in the area has grown progressively as Coca-Cola strengthened its trade outlet network and customer reach. This prompted the company to establish a new distribution center to cater to the increasing demand.

“The opening of a new distribution center marks another chapter for CCBPI here in the country,” Gareth McGeown, CCBPI chief executive officer and president, said. “As a company, we will always look for opportunities to better ourselves. We are grateful to our associates and partners in Bohol who played significant roles in supporting the success that we see today and fueling the growth for tomorrow.”

“Our first site in Bohol has been here for 70 years, we will continue to serve local communities here and across the Philippines for as long as we can,” CCBPI Tagbilaran plant manager Ayesha Castillano said. “We are excited about many opportunities, and we are glad to be strengthening our partnership with our customers, government partners and communities through our new distribution center.”

McGeown also added that apart from the endless possibilities and strengthened relationship with its customers, the success of the company lies in serving the people of Bohol and operating the business the right way.

“We strive to make that positive impact and be a force for good wherever we have the privilege and honor to operate. We look forward to the amazing things we can accomplish in the years to come through our Tagbilaran plant and distribution center.”
